Right, well I've driven it around all day yesterday, and to work this morning. No problems.

So if you've got what you think is a fuel issue, might want to check the cheap-ish electrical stuff first. ;)

Thanks for the help, Lads.

ps - I am also side-post.

I took my wife to work while praying it wouldn't die. Now to go pick her up.

Ah, might try that then as I'd disconnected it while doing the alternator. Weird how it'd come and go.

Might be an issue there alright.

Maybe but I've learned the expensive way that when it seems like fuel issues, check the simple electrical stuff.

Go back over your work and figure out what you screwed up.

Have done 3 times. Took it for a blast and so far so good. Time will tell .

Hello everyone. Right, as perhaps 3 of you will know, I just changed the alternator in my van. That went fine. But since I changed it, she runs like **** (I got told I couldn't say that). Everything's fine til she's nice and warmed up, then under load, like a hill or whatnot, she'll cough and splutt...

Alternator done. Not as crowded in there as I'd feared.

Sorry, I came across all vocal.

Ok, so I found a new Haynes manual for $20 today so I'll check that as well.

Sweet. I should've known that. First vehicle with these style headlights in a long long time.

Thanks though.

Always a funny guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :muhaha: If it's the single rectangle bulb as the "Smilie Van" then you will need to remove the grille. It's not as bad as it may sound. Only a hand full of screws. If it's the composite I don't have a clue. \:D/ Oh right. nevermind. Thanks :drinkers:

Can someone post for pre-95s?

Topic says it all. I need to replace the factory speakers with something.......ah, a little less ****. Just old and likely original and they need to go. I can get to all of them except the two located in the lower "barn" doors. Helpies??

I'm new. My name is Kev and I currently live in Medicine Hat, Alberta after 8 brilliant, drunken years in Ireland. Needed a big car for a growing family. A Do-it-all. Found a 93 Safari last year for $700 and snatched it up. I love the bloody thing. So utilitarian and honest.

From the newest member, my 1993 testament to the charming honesty that is my van.
